Manga with dark fantasy world building. Stories set in a fantasy setting

Dark fantasy series that have a "gritty" feel to them. No urban fantasy.

Horror manga create an atmosphere of unease. Like Mystery manga, they encourage viewers to learn more about their world... but there may be secrets that are better left unexplored. Through eerie music and sounds, visceral or disturbing imagery, or startling moments, works of Horror make you worry about what gruesome thing is coming next.

This subgenre of horror intentionally focuses on grotesque or psychologically disturbing violations of the body. From disease to dismemberment the core of it is what can happen to the human body. It is not unusual for this to also include sexual, alien infestation, strange movements, transformations, and utter destruction of the human body, However I will try to save some of those manga for Ero-Guro

Worldbuilding - "the process of constructing a world, originally an imaginary one, sometimes associated with a fictional universe."

Manga I found creative

Mangas I think do a great job in making their unique worlds feel alive and lived in by other characters. The world/environment has it's own intriguing tales in a sense and influences the characters' opinions and later on choices somewhat. :D

Manga that will break you. Sad comics with terrible endings have their own appeal, and fans adore them.

By the way, by the word “break”, I don’t mean they’re going to beat you. It suggests they will make you exceedingly sad or heartbroken.
